I think the online H&M sizing guide is totally inaccurate! How do I even know what size to get?

Sometimes H&M's online sizes aren't always accurate, which can make dealing with online sizes difficult. But there are things you can do to get around this problem when you shop online:

• First, use the H&M Size Guide to find out what size you are by comparing your exact measurements to the item's size chart. It's not foolproof, but it's a good place to start. Also, read reviews of the product, paying special attention to comments about size from people with similar body types. Customers often talk about their experiences and say if the sizes are right, too big, or too small.

• For answers to questions about sizes, look at the "Customer Q&A" section on the product page. What does it mean when it says "loose fit" or "fitted"? That tells you how the item is supposed to hang on your body. If you're not sure what size to get, don't be afraid to order more than one. H&M lets you return items for free in-store or by mail. This lets you try on clothes of different sizes without any risk at home.

• Last, remember that size charts are just suggestions; body shapes are different. Know that every body is different, and that fabric, cut, and design can change how different items fit, even if they are the same size. If you follow these tips, you should be able to choose the right size when you shop at H&M online.
